N.C. State is offering a sneak peek of the new men’s and women’s teams in October when they host a doubleheader exhibition.
The Wolfpack will head to Greensboro on Oct. 26 for a pair of games at First Horizon Coliseum. The women’s basketball team hosts Maryland at 2 p.m. and the men’s team hosts South Carolina at approximately 4:30 p.m.
This is the first opportunity to watch first-year head coach Will Wade and his new roster. It will be the second time to watch the women’s team, which is also hosting an exhibition on Oct. 18 against High Point at home.
Both opponents are founding members of the ACC. Maryland now plays in the Big Ten and South Carolina is in the SEC.
N.C. State leads the all-time series against Maryland, 45-36, including four victories in the past five meetings. The Terrapins left the ACC in 2014 and have played the Pack women three times since their departure.
The Wolfpack’s recent win over the Terrapins came on Nov. 25, 2022, in a neutral site contest.
Last season, the Maryland and N.C. State women advanced to the Sweet 16. The Terps fell to South Carolina, 71-67, but enter the 2025-26 season as a Top 25 team once again.
N.C. State’s men lead the Gamecocks, 49-28, but the teams have only played five times since 1971. N.C. State is 4-1 in those contests, including the most recent meeting, a 63-61 win in Orlando, Florida, on Nov. 23, 2007. The program’s only loss during that span was in 2003, by three points.
South Carolina last made the NCAA Tournament in 2024 and advanced to the Elite Eight in 2017. The Gamecocks went 12-19 last season, including a 2-16 record in SEC play.
Tickets will go on sale Friday through Ticketmaster. Television and streaming information will be released at a later date.
Both nonconference schedules were released this month, and the ACC matchups have also been released. The entire schedule for the men’s and women’s squads is set to be released this fall.
